A bunker?

They were in secret locations while deciding how to proceed.

Disagree. We know exactly what we’re doing, we’re just fucking rotten to the core. Even the “good guys” are too self interested to actually do what needs to be done to steer the car back into the vicinity of the road.

I would say that the Hall of the House of Representatives can be wherever the speaker of the house gavels in a quorum.

Ya know, without a link or a quote box I thought maybe, just maybe, you were funnin’ with us…
Nope! OMFG :scream_cat:

Going for the insanity defense, I see.

With due respect for the local sensibilities in these curious times but Twitter suspending an account would seem to a rather millennial response to a crisis, bit like myself threatening to confiscate a truant child’s iPhone.

When do the adults blow the whistle?
… and who would these adult people be anyway?

And whether or not they’ll be out in stronger force tomorrow.

I would say that that’s quite a good argument, and that it seems unlikely that the intention was to make it impossible to certify an election if one specific building wasn’t available for the purpose.

But I’d be just as pleased not to hear other people arguing about it. And I bet some of them would.

Well, the rioters have triggered a new low. Boris Johnson–Boris Johnson!–has called them “disgraceful”. They must get bonus points for that.

With enough sleep deprivation and enough drugs? sure

And Recep Erdogan is using language that the US usually uses when condemning violence in other countries.

No, since that building didnt even exist when the Constitution was ratified.

CNN: Melania Trump’s chief of staff has submitted her resignation.

Melania’s chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, has resigned effective immediately, saying it is the result of what happened today.

It appears that Pence is the one who called out the DC National Guard. For once, his statements didn’t mention Trump.

Plus, Melania Trump’s chief of staff just resigned - because of the riot.

So only one death. I’m a little surprised.

Trump is a text book example of a malignant narcissist. Narcissists, when faced with failure, generally dive deeper into their narcissism building ever more walls and lashing out even more aggressively to maintain and protect their self-image. They will never acknowledge their flaws. Introspection is not something they do.

So has Trump gone mad now or was he always mad and is just doubling-down?

Dan Amira, Daily Show:

“Can’t believe the creators of the monster have lost control of the monster, is there any precedent for this in books or film”

It seems they have enclosed a group of insurgents and it is theorized that they will be put on buses and taken away.
